English term or phrase: put yourself back in the chair

A shrewd interviewee may try to take control of the interview by asking questions. If they are seeking factual information with a closed question, then it’s safe to respond, but add a further question to the end of your reply to put yourself back in the chair. Open questions can be rebounded to enable you to retain control
